Our 9 year old washer has begun to vibrate badly and loudly on the spin cycle on any type of clothing. It is much more frequent and getting worse. My husband is mechanical and would like to fix it himself, but we don't know what part we need. Maytag is no help. Please help.

We have determined that it must be the snubber ring. We have the part from your company together with several other associated parts. My husband would like some guidance on how to proceed. He is a former machinist and millwright and can do anything mechanical. At the same time we are going to replace the transmission. The transmission was offered by Maytag without cost because it is under warranty and we accepted with the condition that the warranty remaining would be void. We have never had a serviceman in our house and Jim does it all, but he would like some type of instructions for the replacing of transmission, snubber ring. Please respond with any help. Thanks

We want to thank GENE for sending the service manual. My husband replaced the transmission (which was under warranty and no cost to us) and snubber ring and associated parts himself. He made several of the tools to take it apart also. Between your service manual and parts manual, we were helped greatly. The machine is working well and hopefully will last several more years now. Thanks
